fresh pitta bread rolls;

red wine from the vine-
a word from a king

Cocoa(Nuts) In Punta CanaFour palms, one taller, the other three measure the same.
Heavily anchored in sand, all are vertical climbers of this azure sky.
Eight new fronds per palm, the older ones neatly trimmed by man.
No cocoanuts anywhere to be seen, their hazard great, if allowed to fall.
Growing 40-50 feet tall, how many savage storms have they endured?
Lying on...

“Woman, how does your concern affect me?”

Filled to the brim with nothing held back
Sweetened with goodness, nothing to lack
The best for the last to consummate a pact
His hour not here, there is no...

Punta CanaPunta Cana on my t-shirt, had a wonderful time there
Two great weeks of sunny weather with a Caribbean flair
Girls in sarongs
Latin beat songs
A far away world with pure happiness in the air...

The Wedding at CanaA wedding in Cana and Jesus was there.
A miscalculation, a bit of a scare.
They ran out of wine before it was through.
What were they to do? What were they to do?
“Do whatever He tells you.”
The mother of Jesus said, “They have no wine.”
It didn’t concern Him. It wasn’t His time.
But she didn’t argue. She already...
